best social app:
@frenslol
think back to all the steps needed to hunt down a contract address to send to a friend, and then all the steps needed for them to trade.
frens eliminated all of that. all of your buys and sells automatically appear in the group chat.
i found myself buying coins just so my friends could see them in the chat.
two standout features:
1. indicators between chat bubbles showing member trades
2. pinning pfps on the chart during trades
the best part? roasting friends with buy trades at the top of the chart.
i know you're not going to believe me, but it made trading fun, even when losing money.

love how much the design space for onchain activity feeds have grown
here’s four different social apps that let me see what the frens, fam, and now agents are doing across multiple chains.
as twitter gets more and more noisy, it’s much easier to filter out intentions when you can see how wallets/people/funds are behaving onchain.

Pretty impressed by the new wave of consumer trading apps.
@usemoonshot
@daosdotfun

Makes trading feel social, light and fun - something that I think will be the main driver of adoption throughout 2025.
